Some devices don’t have legacy interrupt support, but still need to use
a legacy keyboard. This patch adds a KBC check and manual call to the
keyboard service if there is a key waiting in the KBC.

BUG=chrome-os-partner:30836
BRANCH=None
TEST=Build and boot Rambi SeaBIOS.

Note we already have CONFIG_HARDWARE_IRQ.
So, do we actually need this new config option?

Disabling hardware IRQ is sufficient on Baytrail ChromeOS devices like
Rambi, so I'd say no
